Nothing tugs at a parent’s heart-strings like the cries of their baby. The instinct to protect babies is very primal – so primal in fact that the cries of various baby mammals are very similar and most mammals will even rush to the help of other mammals’ babies if they are crying. It’s an incredible bond between baby and parent and one that is important not to take lightly. Leaving a little baby crying is not a good idea since the very basic bond of seeking protection and that cry for help being responded to, will be broken. The impact of this in later life is a subject that’s still being explored, but the suggestion is that it can be a profound impact on the bond between parent and child.
